Hi Kathy,
I have also eliminated all of my grass..front and back within this past year. We only have a small patch of grass on the side of the house for my small dog. I live in a very residential neighborhood and most of my neighbors have very manicured yards with no interest at all.
My front yard is very small and the little bit of grass that was there, took up most of the area and was very boring when we moved in 4 yrs. ago. I created this new design for my love of the garden and I get lots of compliments about all of my flowers and the new look it gives my house.

This is a picture of my house BEFORE and below is a picture of AFTER.
